With the twelve-volume series Feasting on the Word, Westminster John Knox Press offers one of the most extensive and well-respected resources for preaching on the market today. When complete, the twelve volumes will cover all of the Sundays in the three-year lectionary cycle, along with moveable occasions. The page layout is truly unique. For each lectionary text, preachers will find brief essays-- one each on the exegetical, theological, pastoral, and homiletical challenges of the text. Each volume will also contain an index of biblical passages so that nonlectionary preachers may make use of its contents. The printed volumes for Ordinary Time include the complementary stream during Year A, the complementary stream during the first half of Year B, the semicontinuous stream during the second half of Year B, and the semicontinuous stream during Year C. Beginning with the season after Pentecost for Year C, the alternate lections for Ordinary Time not in the print volumes will be available online at feastingontheword.net.

The newly approved translation of the readings for weekday Masses is now available to presiders, preachers and faithful alike in a convenient one-volume study edition. LTP's study edition of the Weekday Lectionary, although not intended for use in the liturgy, offers many of the same features as its beautiful ritual volumes. The efficient two-column layout of the readings allows the user to view the first and gospel readings and the responsorial psalm together, with few page turns. The large, clear type--the same size as that found in LTP's Sunday Lectionary study edition--is easy to read, and the book's lieflat binding allows it to remain open to the correct page while the user consults other resources and takes notes for homilies and study groups. Those who attend daily Mass regularly will want a copy of this volume for their own prayerful preparation, as will presiders, liturgists, students and preachers. Those who plan and preside at daily services of the word or communion services will also need a copy to prepare reflections and practice readings. The parish library, sacristy and office can also benefit from this practical tool for preparing and celebrating daily Mass.
